<< But I also think its probably wrong to be amused by it, even if it is commonplace in human affairs.

This may be the source of disconnect. While it might seem like I am amused by suffering, this is explicitly not the case. I shudder at the thought that people would take my argument as meaning that.

All I am saying is: things exist after their original purpose has been served ( or not served ). But those things continue to exist, because we, as a species, can't seem to help ourselves.

That weird drive within us is what I would call bemusing ( and not amusing ).
